LES RESPONSABLES PÉRUVIENS DANS LA CAMPAGNE MARITIME DANS LE PACIFIQUE (AVRIL-OCTOBRE DU 1879)

Abstract

The correspondents of the Peruvian newspapers that covered the alternatives of
the naval campaign of the War of the Pacific (April-October 1879) contributed
to satisfy the information needs of public opinion. In addition, they allowed the
creation of representations and imaginaries linked to the archetypes of behavior
and patriotic virtues of the Peruvians, as well as the construction of the Chilean
otherness. These writings collaborated in delineating the contemporary and future
interpretative canon of the conflict.
